Collect Enrollment And Configuration Information; Start The Field Agent - GE Mini Field Agent User Manual

5.3 Collect Enrollment and Configuration Information

Before enrolling and configuring a Field Agent, it is often useful to first collect all of the enrollment information (URLs, Field
Agent serial numbers) and configuration information (Time Series Ingestion URL, Zone ID, etc.) into a single place to
reference through the process. It is recommended to fill out as much of this table as possible before proceeding and referencing
it in subsequent steps.

5.4 Start the Field Agent

After providing the Mini Field Agent or the controller with Embedded Field Agent with power, the Field Agent will begin to
boot. The green ON LED (for MFA) or FAOK LED (for EFA) will begin blinking when Predix Machine is starting, which
is a process that can take approximately one minute. For the MFA, the green ON LED will turn solid once Predix Machine
is running. For the CPE400, the FAOK LED will blink faster once Predix Machine is running, and the Display will
indicate a FA Status of "Not Connected". Once Predix Machine is running, the Web Console is accessible for configuring
and enrolling the Field Agent.
For the Virtual Field Agent, power on the Virtual Machine. There is no associated LED. Instead, when the Field Agent is
up you should be able to access the Web Console.
